I want to edit exist data from database via html-form with field. But I can not create a right controller for it, because this code just created a new book. Old data was not changed.
Controller
@GetMapping("/bookUpdate/{id}")
public String bookListUpdate(@PathVariable (value = "id") Integer id, Model model, @Valid
BookDto book) {
model.addAttribute("book", service.findById(id));
return "views/bookUpdate";
}
@PostMapping("/edit")
public String editBook(@Valid Book book, @PathVariable (value = "id") Integer id) {
Book newBook = service.findById(id);
newBook.setDescription(book.getDescription());
newBook.setTopic(book.getTopic());
newBook.setLink(book.getLink());
service.saveBook(newBook);
return "views/index";
}
BookUpdate

CodePudding user response:
Your @PostMapping
is missing the path variable:
@PostMapping("/edit")
Do something like:
@PostMapping("/edit/{id}")
On a side note, you can make your URLs a bit nicer, by using something like @GetMapping("/books/{id}")
and @PostMapping("/books/{id}")
.
